The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) is seeking public input on improvements along WIS 16, from 0.5 miles east of the I-90 ramps to West Hazel Avenue, in Monroe County. Construction is currently anticipated for 2027.
A presentation and materials detailing the WIS 16 project are available to view on the project website at
Wisconsin Department of Transportation WIS 16 (0.5 miles E. of I-90 to W. Hazel Ave) - Monroe County (wisconsindot.gov).
The project will resurface this 6.38-mile stretch of WIS 16 to extend the pavement’s service life. Additional improvements include the addition of centerline and shoulder rumble strips and increasing the paved shoulders.
WIS 16 will be closed and detoured along I-90 for the first portion of work, with open roadway under flagging operations to follow.
All persons interested in the project are encouraged to view the website and provide input by contacting project staff via email, postal mail, or phone. Your comments will assist WisDOT in developing a project that will serve the needs of the traveling public and community. Your input is welcome and appreciated throughout the design process. Questions and comments can be directed to WisDOT Project Manager Nathaniel Schumaker at
nathaniel.schumaker@dot.wi.gov, (608) 789-5538, or mailed to the WisDOT Southwest Region, 3550 Mormon Coulee Road, WI 54601.
